Especially with the amount of water that is being introduced. Just can't help but notice how the oil went from being black using petrol then switch over to eflex for a good year or more and now it's no longer black at all. Been using the same oil for years Edited 03/12/13 02:41 AM by Kroozin Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/201/#findComment-1443607 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get really clean oil running gas too. It is because you get a more complete combustion. So very little by-products.

Trying to decide which route to go before I get my car tuned .Only thing that worries me is eflex rating is never consistent . Nearest eflex is at casula and a mate has once tested it at e68, is it a problem?

Nearest eflex is at casula and a mate has once tested it at e68, is it a problem?I have heard this for a while now and really don't know why people keep bagging eflex. I have been using eflex daily for over 2 years, no issues and it gets raced often.I have been testing both fuels electronically for a while now an they are both as consistent as each other, eflex is 71% and United is 85%.With the xcal now able to hold 10 tunes it's probably best you get tuned for both.

Should be back to normal again. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77949-e85/page/201/#findComment-1443766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
